One Mississippi
One Mississippi at The Revelator is a new hard-hitting verbatim play that explores how the impact of childhood experiences shape men's adult lives, and the journey it takes them on.
About One Mississippi
One Mississippi is a dynamic piece of Physical Verbatim Theatre, that explores how the impact of childhood experiences shape men’s adult lives. Blending humour and storytelling with powerful elements of physical theatre, this production is an uncompromising insight into what takes us to breaking point.
Written by Mariem Omari | Directed by Mark Jeary-Fairbairn
Part of the 2022 Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival
One Mississippi is based on a collection of interviews undertaken with men across Scotland including, a Scottish Pakistani Muslim, an Indian Sikh, a Northern Irishman living in Glasgow, and a recovering addict from East Glasgow. Through their stories the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on men is revealed, no matter their ethnicity or faith – ultimately becoming a collective story of their lived reality.
Running time: 75 minutes (no interval)
Age restriction: 14+ (contains strong language and adult themes, including suicide)
